good shit this week. Like twenty<br />
one pilots delivering one of the most bananas shows<br />
we’ve ever seen at Brixton (p46). Or The Used playing<br />
their debut in full (p48). Or how about the heroic return<br />
of Baroness to Southampton, after the bus crash that<br />
almost killed them (p49)? We were there at all of them!<br />

New Killswitch Engage<br />
album alert! It’s a trawl<br />
through the dark side of Jesse Leach’s head, and it’s amazing<br />
(p50).As is Iggy Pop’s new record (p51). But we want<br />
something old – how about Max Cavalera telling us about<br />
going into the jungle for Sepultura’s Roots (p53)?<br />
GIGS<br />
Brit award-nominees Wolf Alice<br />
gear up for their biggest UK tour to<br />
date – it’s gonna be a good’un (p56). Meanwhile<br />
